Translation of abstract (English)

The main content of the dissertation is the comparison between sports club members and non members regarding the danger of addiction. Besides an extensive theoretical foundation 1296 young sports club members and students and 66 youth animators and sport trainers were interviewed by questionnaire. The survey was made from February until September 1998 in the Baden area. By four hypothesises it could be proved that young members of sports clubs have comparably less nicotine consumption. It was also proved, that they are generally less susceptible and endangered to addiction. Apparantly, there is no significant difference between sports club members and non members with regard to the consumption of alcohol. However there are altogether different datas within various kinds of sports. The atmosphere in the sports clubs and the influence of youth animators and the trainers are determining factors regarding the addiction of youth. New measures to be introduced in sports clubs should contain besides health promotion programmes, also secondary addiction prevention programmes.
